Chilli Time

After leaving it too late last year to sow the few chillies I had, this year I'm following the instructions to sow from February onwards.

Since the Anaheim did nothing last year, and barely stayed alive, I'm concentrating on just the cayenne (the one plant which survived produced two dozen chillies, which when dried out lasted several months) and the jalepeno (didn't produce anything, but didn't die either). Although I used the coconut style planters last year, this year I'll use the little peat pots - I'd prefer not to use the peat, but better to use it than waste it. Soon I should have enough vermicompost to make up a nice potting compound.

So, put one seed into each, which given last year's success rate should give around 6 plants. I'll know within a couple of weeks hopefully. Still time to start some off then if they all fail... The other bits I need to sow don't need starting till March, so lots of time before I need to do that.
